Interested in the One-Eyed Female General So I Joined the White Wolf Knight Order, but It Turned into a Harem?! - Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Chapter 43 .

The distance from the town of York to Teraheim is about 6 kilometres . Along those six kilometres were tightly packed hills, dense forest, and lakes marked as dots . If the other party went through all those, the visibility will undoubtedly be bad . That’s why the army will most likely choose to move to a more open area . From there, Ortashia saw something . She didn’t quite get it yet since it’s still vague so she remained silent and started to ponder .

There was once a battle that had similarities to this very situation . It was a conflict between a small country against a bigger one . The difference in their forces was more than 10-to-1 . However, she recalled that Maruto told her that the smaller country actually won that battle .

[That’s right . There is that method . ]

Everyone turned their heads toward Ortashia upon hearing her voice .

[Eh? Really?]

[Amazing . Truly a genius!]

Shingen who didn’t understand the situation yet could only smile wryly .

[Wha, why so sudden…Good grief, am I the only one who doesn’t understand here?]

Julienne, who had a confused look, on her face asked .

Ortashia then conveyed her proposed strategy to everyone . As the talking went on, Randall, Riru, Mina and Elize who were more familiar with battlefield had to blink their eyes repeatedly . Are you serious? They had that kind of look on their face .

[……Ortashia, is it for real?]

Elize’s voice was as if she was choking . It was the kind of strategy that will make anyone raised their eyebrows in frown . But Ortashia will still go through with that plan, regardless whether it doesn’t look that convincing . She then gave everyone a glance alternately .

[What with this air? Are there any complaints?]

When asked like that, bitter smiles naturally bloomed on everyone’s face . Wrinkles subtly appeared on Ortashia’s eyebrows .

[If you want to complain then find a better alternative! Come on anytime now! If you have one, I’ll think this through! The story is enough to convince me!]

Ortashia crossed her arms with a sense of self-confidence as well as the air of royalty . Julienne looked troubled . Her expression tells that she can’t bear to hear this anymore…

[Eehー]

[This has become messy~]

[If there is none, then we’ll go through with this plan!]

[Gunununu… . ]

[I can’t follow anymore/]

Since it’s impossible to say anything to rebuke that, everyone exclaimed then sighed in defeat . Shingen looked at Ortashia anxiously .

[You sure it’ll be just fine?]

[What’s that? Have you no faith in this Ortashia?]

[No, that’s not what I mean……it’s just that, I thought that it’s not that good to decide to go with that plan so easily . ]

[Oh, did you not hear the last part?]

She leaned her body closer that her face was almost touching Shingen’s . Shingen who was puzzled by the sudden approach jerked his body away . While still looking at Shingen, Ortashia began to call out the name of Riru and Mina, knights with years of experience under their belt .

[Riru! Mina! Let me ask you! Has this me ever lost in any battle?! Never, hasn’t it!?]

[… . . Never]

[Ye, yes, never!]

Never, other than the betrayal of the Fuhren Holy Knights that caused her to lose both Maruto and her right eye . But she pressured them with the gaze of her eye regardless, though she had to turn her head alternately to do so . In the end, no one could come up with an alternative plan, so it was decided that they’re going to use Ortashia’s strategy .

Ortashia announced the end of the war council, and with that, everyone stood up from their seats and left the room .

Riru and Mina talked to each other and went to drink some liquor and so forth . Julienne ran back to her room in a hurry, needing to research something . Elize followed in silence soon after .

It’s supposedly the time for everyone at the house of lord to have some sleep .

Two people still remained in the conference room . Ortashia and Shingen .

For a while, there was only silence as the moonlight entered from the window and the candle light that came from the ceiling flickered .

Finally, Ortashia broke the silence .

[Alright! The battle is in three days time . Until then, we have to nurture our spirit . ]

[… . . ]

There was no response from Shingen . He’s still looking at the map laid out on the table and merely blinked . This made Ortashia rather cranky .

[What, are you still not convinced?]

However, it wasn’t the case . Shingen shook his head .

[No, it’s not that I’m not convinced . ]

With her expression screaming, Then what’s wrong? Ortashia stared at Shingen .

[So it’s inevitable… . ]

It was said in a low voice .

[What?]

[The battle itself . ]

At that moment, a half of her felt amazed while the other half felt gentleness .

Ortashia’s answer had been long decided . Without hesitation, she said it clearly .

[It’s impossible . Once he started to move, there won’t be no stopping him . ]

Shingen tried to discern those words . With a serious expression, he looked at the map once more before turning toward Ortashia .

[That’s true . ]

And he’ll face it .

[I’m sorry for making such a boorish remark . ]

Ortashia looked away . She couldn’t watch it . That smile on Shingen’s face was like a poison for her, it was a short moment overflowing with cuteness . She was disappointed with herself . To her, there should be only one Maruto . After giving Shingen an appropriate reason, she smiled to him before promptly left .
